Christ Church

Location

Known to be the second oldest church in northern India, the Christ Church is the most fascinating building on the Mall road. The clock on the church tower was donated in 1860 and the porch added in 1873. Visible from miles away, the design of this place is marvelous.

In Shimla's 75 years of reigning as summer capital, a long line of officials and other notables of the Raj came to the church for their Sunday prayers. The seasonal influx is so great at times that space poses a big problem. The brasses, plaques and the lovely stained glass windows s for which the church is so famed, are worthy of a great deal of attention.
